This program will deal with the thorny, often under-the-radar issues that come up for boards such as:
- Inappropriate or “gray-area” conflicts of interest
- Founder-itis
- Undisclosed collaborations
- Competing or hidden agendas
- Under-performing directors
- Self-dealing and more!
These matters are tough to nail down, and tricky to tackle, but the hardest things to discuss are often the most important.
Few boards are immune from at least the occasional “elephant”, so it is critical for board effectiveness to be able to artfully navigate through the awkwardness, to constructively and transparently deal with such conflicts.
Come and hear these experienced business leaders walk through various scenarios and describe the best techniques and skills needed to unearth conflicts of interest and foster cohesion.
If you—or a “colleague”—are facing a boardroom challenge, bring it with you, and throw it to the panel for their practical solutions!
